to beat Rice. Go Mustangs!
This should be the biggest stadium crowd to attend this year. What was the highest attendance so far this year?

Wow that doesnt sound very good. I personally am glad we are still trying to get an OL in the 2010 class.

This is a game we have traditionally lost in the past several years. Hopefully the kids will stay focused and play up to their capability. If so it should be enjoyable. If not I cannot imagine the anquish.

Given our lack of overall depth, injuries were always a concern. We are just too thin for any significant injuries. A really good week of blowing out Rice and allowing some of our starters to play less and our subs to get more reps would be a huge plus. The problem is injured players often don't give the same level of performance consistently thus leading to less than optimal performance by the entire unit. That decreases the chances of a big lead and less playing time for the injured.
We got through the tough stretch with one very major injury (BLM) and a bunch of minor but significant injuries to other players. We now need a couple of weeks with less robust opponents and a little more time to heal.
This is going o be a tough 4 game stretch.
